Self-inflicted gunshot wound sends felon back to prison

That was the outcome for a convicted felon who accidentally shot himself last year and, this week, was sentenced in federal court.

In April 2007, Fort Worth police responded to a reported shooting on West Hammond Street and found Edward Garcia, 41, bleeding from a gunshot wound to his inner thigh. They also found a loaded .22-caliber pistol.

An officer asked what happened, and Garcia replied that it was "obvious" that he was putting the gun in his waistband and it went off.
